Baghdad embassy bombing used to justify Bush lies?

Watching some of the initial remarks made on Faux and MSNBC at the end of this week gives me a very bad feeling that the Junta is trying out a new lie to be able to say "see Al-Qaida was always in Iraq". The only reason this has not been more widely reported is the media's attention on the California Gov. race. Also doesn't anyone else find it odd that the FBI was IMMEDIATELY sent into Baghdad to investigate the bombing. Almost like they are desperate to prove an Al-Qaida link. Something that was not done following the much more deadly Saudi Blast.



FEARS OF AL-QAIDA-LINKED TERRORISTS


Thursday’s bombing of the Jordanian Embassy, which killed 19 people and injured at least 50 raised fears that al-Qaida-linked terrorists were at work in Iraq. The bombing was the first large-scale terrorist attack since Baghdad fell to U.S. forces April 9.

Authorities are looking at Ansar al-Islam, which U.S. officials claim is linked to al-Qaida, as a potential suspect, according to Lt. Gen. Norton Schwartz, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said the group was a link between Baghdad and al-Qaida when he made his case for war to the U.N. Security Council in February. Others have questioned whether there was any connection to Saddam’s regime.

there's no link. They just need someone to blame the bombing on - lo and behold, now they can say IRAQ AND al-Qaida in the same sentence.

They were in Kurdish Iraq. Even if they have a link to al-qaeda and carried out this bombing, it has nothing to do with them having a link to Saddam Hussein.

Yes, they will definitely do everything they can to blur the facts even further. Too bad the Democratic candidates aren't allowed to say anything about it since they voted for the war and all.

this is what these people were training for in Afghanistan, they think of themselves as God's Army who go wherever Muslims are under attack so of course they headed for Iraq, that doesn't mean Hussein had anything to do with them it's just what you would expect them to do if the US invaded.

Maybe Al Qaeda just arrived in Iraq thanks to the new Bush anarchy. Our officials and generals have been saying that foreign fighters are coming across the border. Well, that's predictable, and it's predictable that al Qaeda would move into Iraq after Bush made it worthwhile by occupying.

Bush is to blame if Iraq starts to have terrorists and terrorist attacks. What does he think is going to happen when an "iron fisted police state" is replaced with nothing? Hell Saddam Hussein himself is trotting around Baghdad.

Bush f*cked up big time in the war on terrorism. It's time he got his report card. It's been two years since he started working on the problem, and it looks to be as bad now as ever before. The attack on Iraq was stupid.
